Yet, you can add as many as you wish as a compute node (won't be part of Gluster) and later you can add them to the Gluster TSP (this requires 3 nodes at a time). >> 4.

As both oVirt and Gluster ,that are used, are upstream projects, support is on best effort from the community. >> In my initial testing I was able to enable Centos repositories in Node Ng but if I remember correctly, there were some librbd versions present in Node Ng which clashed with the version I was trying to install. >> Does Ceph hyperconverge still make sense? > Yes it is.
